  • CBC talks about Mental Health

    In the midst of January CBC radio show “The Current” did a week long segment on mental health.  These great shows were capped off with a  call in show hoasted by Steven Page from Barenaked Ladies.

    The phone lines were jammed, and even before they went off the air, the inbox was overflowing with more stories, and feedback.  Anna Maria Tremonti, Dr. David Goldbloom and Steven Page were on air for more than five straight hours, fielding calls live in every time zone – resulting in five different shows … one for each time zone.  The audio to all five can be found at this link:
